I know some folks are going to hate this - but have an open mind. It's really just an exercise in looking at the schedule and testing your expectations. Let's just say, for argument's sake, that Les Miles is in fact on the hot seat this year. How many losses, considering the schedule and what we know so far about the level of competition, would be enough of a disaster to get Miles fired this year?
I think that no matter what happens this year (within reason), that CLM's job should teeter on NEXT year's record....not so much this year's. UNLESS we have a catostrophic season (like 6 losses or more). We're so young right now and with so much talent, next year there will be no excuses.
I selected that he's not going to get fired... We won't lose enough games for Aleva to pull the pin on that grenade.
Why isn't anyone talkimg about what REALLY matters for Miles' job: Who is coming up with the 7.5 million dollars to buy him out at the end of this year, AND then pay a marquee coach to come to LSU with many more millions of dollars this year, in a down economy? I don't see him getting fired under any circumstances this year. That's a ton of money. Plus his assistants mostly have three year deals...tack several million more dollars on top of that. Not happening, my friends.
the other questions are who are you gonna get to replace him and do you trust alleva to make that decision. answer to first question is "i have no idea". answer to second question is "NO!"
Good points. Mike Archer, Curley Hallman, Gerry DiNardo. Who's to say the LSU administration couldn't string together three more coaches just like those three?
